    Diego E. Petteno` reported multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c
    when converting a long string from or to a base64 representation.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to perform a
    base64 conversion via an application using GLib, possibly resulting in
    the execution of arbitrary code.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
